Celebrating Strathfield: 140 years

The Municipality of Strathfield was incorporated 140 years ago on 2 June 1885. Since 1885, Strathfield district has grown from a semi-rural settlement of only 600 people to a district of about 50,000 in 2025.

You are invited to step back in time and explore the journey of the Strathfield district over 140 years. Our anniversary exhibition showcases the rich heritage, diverse communities and transformative moments that have shaped the Strathfield district.

View historic photos and documents, see our video presentations and discover the people, places and events that define our district.

This exhibition was produced in collaboration with the Strathfield-Homebush Historical Society.
